Saloni Gupta

Welcome! I am Jonathan M. Nelson Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Education at Brown University.

My work lies at the intersection of education, innovation, and economic development. I examine how education systems develop higher-order skills for a changing labor market and how new technologies influence the scaling of educational innovations.

I am an invited researcher at the J-PAL's Science for Progress Initiative. My work is supported by the Weiss Fund for Development Economics, the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation , the King Center on Global Development at Stanford University, the Learning for All Initiative (LAI) at J-PAL, and the What Works Hub for Global Education.

I completed my Ph.D. in Economics and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2024 and a postdoc at the Stanford King Center on Global Development in 2025.
